1 Class Plan for The Emergence of Islam Gabriel Said Reynolds Note: The Emergence of Islam may serve as the primary textbook for a class on the Qurʾan, Muhammad and the Qurʾan, or Islamic Origins. It might also serve as one of the textbooks used in a class on the Introduction to Islam generally, or in a module/section on Islam in a course on World Religions, Western Religions, or Abrahamic Religions. The class plan below is meant to be a useful resource for all such cases. It is structured according to twelve weeks of class time (2 classes per week), and integrates the sources included in A Reader on Classical Islam (ed. Peters), along with chapters of two important books by Fred Donner and Kenneth Cragg. A Reader on Classical Islam was chosen because it includes a wide range of classical sources and remains readily available for order. Instructors who would like to use this syllabus as a basis for a semester long class might consider supplementing the readings with additional primary sources (and might take advantage of the paragraph Texts to Supplement below). Instructors who would like to use this class plan as a basis for a module of a broader course might condense it by eliminating some of the primary sources integrated here. A fiveweek module might be achieved by allotting two weeks to Part 1 (introduction + chs. 1-3) of The Emergence of Islam, two weeks to Part 2 (chs. 4-7) and one week to Part 3 (ch. 8 + conclusion). Texts to Supplement The Emergence of Islam Instructors might refer to the selection of texts below to develop their own class plan around The Emergence of Islam. In addition, instructors may consult the online resources document on the Fortress site for recommended websites that might be integrated into a class plan. A. Recommended Translations of the Qurʾan The Quran: A New Translation, trans. T. Cleary, Starlatch press (clear language, helpful format, original and often insightful renderings of the Arabic) The Qurʾan, trans. T. Khalidi, Penguin (clear language, renders the traditional Islamic understanding of the text, but without tendentious commentary) n.b. The translations of Abdel Haleem, Hilali/Muhsin Khan, and Yusuf Ali are marked to different degrees by tendentious commentary (or by the presentation of traditional views as though they were the evident and original meaning of the Qurʾan). They might be avoided as a text of reference for class use, but they could be useful for illustrating modern/contemporary Muslim perspectives on the Qurʾan. B. Readers with Excerpts of and Annotations on Primary Sources
2 A Reader on Classical Islam, ed. F. Peters Classical Islam: A Sourcebook of Religious Literature, ed. ed. N. Calder, J. Mojaddedi, and A. Rippin Modern Islam, ed. Kurzman Princeton Reader in Islamist Thought, ed. Euben and Zaman C. Classical Islamic Sources in English Translation al-bukhari, Hadith Collection (Dar al-salam Publishers) Ibn Ishaq, Life of the Messenger of God (Oxford University Press) Ibn Kathir, Commentary on the Qur'an (Dar al-salam Publishers) al-thaʿlabi, ʿAraʾis al-majalis, or Lives of the Prophets (Brill) D. General Reference Works on Islam The A to Z of Islam, ed. L.W. Adamec The Concise Encyclopedia of Islam, ed. G. Newby The Historical Dictionary of Islam, ed. Adamec E. General Introductions to Islam A. Rippin, Muslims: Their Religious Beliefs and Practices F. Rahman, Islam (useful for a Muslim perspective) F. Works on Islamic History F. Donner, Muhammad and the Believers (a revisionist view of early Islamic history) M. Hodgsen, Venture of Islam (3 volumes, a useful global history) A. Silverstein.
